I believe Jesus is in heaven with his father. It seems to me you are making it up as you go along because you refuse to accept God's written word given to us as our guide and as our authority. Do you prey?
You seem to refuse the Holy Spirit, this may grieve Him.

Jesus has all authority, not a book. This is even in the book.

the jesus was not white if thats what your saying. hes been white washed.

he likely had a skin tone similar to palestinians or people in that area
The Palestinians are Arabs. Arabs moved into the area from the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabs routinely went into sub Saharan Africa to capture and enslave people. With mixing with their slaves over hundreds of years they now have that skin tone you mentioned. And none of this has anything to do with Jesus being an insurrectionist. Read your Bible, read history, learn a few things.

we are talking about jesus being colored and we are getting to jesus being an insurrectionist and revolutionary.

Someone may fear that we are magnifying private religion out of all proportion, that the "us" of the New Testament is being displaced by a selfish "I." Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become "unity" conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole Church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.

Whenever mention is made of Jesus as our
Keeper, it is often difficult to believe that we who are on the earth can really know ourselves to be always, without interruption, in His hands and under His
power. How much clearer and more glorious the truth becomes when the Spirit reveals to us that Christ is in us. He is in us, not only as a tenant in a house or as water in a glass, but rather as the soul is in the body, moving every part and never being
separated from each other.

What is your point? Yes Jesus was probably darker toned and he had short hair.
  • 2 Corinthians 6:14: "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"

Interesting and good question to @rickyb.

I am interested in his answer.

Question for you:

What is your understanding of what yoked actually and personally means?

What is your understanding of what qualifies one as an unbeliever?

Yoke = attached to, bound through choice with non believers and those living in sin.

1 John 2:4, He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Do you believe in modern day prophets?

Do you believe that being of the Islamic religious tradition disqualifies a person from being a prophet, within the understanding, faith, and belief of that tradition?
Everything has been prophesied. Now we wait on the fulfillment of that prophesy.
